Eduard 648128 Mk.82 bombs w/ airbrake early 1/48 – Set of resin Mk.82 bombs with early airbrake

The Eduard 648128 Mk.82 bombs w/ airbrake early set is a high-quality accessory designed for scale modelers building aircraft in 1/48 scale. This set allows for the precise reproduction of four Mk.82 general-purpose aerial bombs in the early airbrake version (airbrake, early type), widely used by American and allied air forces from the second half of the 20th century onwards.

The Mk.82 bombs are among the most popular general-purpose bombs produced by the United States. The versions equipped with airbrakes were developed to enable safe low-altitude release by slowing the bomb’s descent. This allowed pilots to maneuver more effectively post-release and increased their survival chances during combat operations. The Mk.82 bomb with airbrake was used in numerous armed conflicts, such as the Vietnam War, operations in Iraq, as well as NATO interventions during and after the Cold War period.

The Eduard 648128 set is made from the highest quality resin, providing an excellent level of detail – clearly rendered rivets, rings, weld seams, and realistically recreated airbrakes. The set also includes photo-etched parts allowing for even more faithful detailing. All parts are precisely cast components that guarantee a much higher level of realism compared to standard plastic model kit accessories.
